The chain-breaking antioxidant alpha-tocopherol has not been reported to be present in mammalian spermatozoa, unlike other cell types where it contributes to cell integrity and function. Semen samples obtained from 36 male partners of infertile couples during infertility investigations were analysed for alpha-tocopherol content of seminal plasma and spermatozoa, and the superoxide dismutase and glutathione...
